Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Chief Physician Dr Debashis Chowdhury said that England and Wales Cricket Board’s (ECB) model to resume international cricket will not work properly in Bangladesh.

The ECB has made an example by resuming international cricket in the country amid the highly contagious COVID-19 pandemic. They have rescheduled their postponed three-match Test series against West Indies on July 8 and successfully finished two of the three-match Test series, where it has been tied 1-1 with one to spare.

The ECB has maintained a bunch of strict rules and regulations along with safety protocols to resume cricket after long-break. They dropped much-talked about pace bowler Jofra Archer just an hour before the second Test due to breaching the COVID protocols.

However, BCB chief physician thinks that the model the ECB has made for them is so much challenging and hard to execute in the Bangladesh perspective.

“What I understand is that it's very hard to execute. People are the hardest to manage. Cleaning staff are using drugs to disinfect the stadium. They’ve no clear idea about the presence of the coronavirus. It’s a challenge,” Dr Debashis Chowdhury said.

“There’s a challenge who will cook the food and serve. Everyone involved in this process needs to be on supervision for all the times, which is not possible. England is spending millions of dollars for this. A COVID-19 test costs 110 pounds. They’ve done thousands of tests. Tests will also be held at the end of the series. That will be difficult for the BCB,” Debashish Chowdhury told Cricfrenzy.com.

He also said that Dr Nick Peirce, chief medical officer of ECB is supervising everything and a large unit is working to regulate the bio-bubble process.
